Sunday Night Date Idea! Chowder and Charity!
13.11.09
Why, at the Chowder Cook-Off November 15 at Togetherness , Benefiting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society .
Ethan Stowell's 2009 cook-off series comes to an end with a Chowder Smackdown. Participants well-founded announced - chefs include: Ethan Stowell, Heather Earnhardt and David Howe (Volunteer Reserve Cafe), Dan Braun (Oliver's Twist), Brain Cartenuto (Cantinetta), Vuong Loc (Portage), and Craig Hetherington (Drop). The lone food enthusiast battling against the chefs is Darren "always in the top three" Vengroff.
Stowell has rounded up a savvy agglomeration of chowder enthusiasts, and the competition promises to be stiff. With all the chowder options available, New England, Manhattan, Salmon, Corn, and anything else this clever crew dreams up, this is sure to be a delicious event!
Each cook will make a pot of chowder and broach it to Union to be eaten and judged. Guests will be given a scorecard, and then will proceed to enjoy beer as they soup and rate each bowl of chowder. After much bribery and deliberation, a winner will be declared. The winner of the Chowder Smackdown will net dinner for six at Union, Tavolta, How to Cook a Wolf, or Anchovies & Olives, and of course, bragging rights!
